Ikea Plus Custom Design Equals This Cat Tower

If you've decked out your home with hip and minimal furnishings take note: You don't have to pay a million bucks for modern cat furniture too. Los Angeles-based designer Peter Sehorsch recently took the kitty design world by storm when he turned a simple IKEA Stolmen system into a spectacular cat tower, and now he's selling the custom units for all the copycats who love his work. The Hollywood Franklin Cat Tower — named after his cat, Frank, naturally — combines an IKEA post and mounting fixtures with homemade platforms.

You have to purchase the IKEA parts (the pole and clamp cost about $113) yourself then order a platform kit from Sehorsch, which comes with two or three risers and bolts and nuts.
